Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece store-bought pie crust
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 slices cooked and crumbled bacon
- 1 cup chopped spinach
- 0.5 cup diced onion
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the store-bought pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and press it evenly across the bottom and sides. Trim any excess dough and set aside.
In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened. Add the chopped spinach and cook for another 2 minutes, until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, cooked and crumbled bacon, and the cooled onion-spinach mixture.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Place the quiche in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your delicious breakfast quiche!
